RHP Scott Patterson (added to the Yankees' 40-man roster last week) has allowed only two earned runs in 17 2/3 innings, over 15 appearances with the Cardenales de Lara of the Venezuelan Winter League. (1-1, 1.02 ERA, 2 BB, 14 K, .213 opp. avg.)

SS Alberto Gonzalez is hitting .362 (17-for-47), hitting safely in nine of 12 games with the Bravos de Margarita of the Venezuelan Winter League.

Ooooweeeee! Those stats look pretty good from top to bottom for the Yankee Youngsters. I wonder how Alberto Gonzalez would fit in with the Yankees next year, maybe he'd be Jeter's back up ( good glove out there at SS )or maybe the Yankee brass is spicing him up to use him as trade bait, time will tell.
